Have you ask PlanetX about it?
London Road | Planet X
Some never reply to customer questions, some do. They sell forks too, so I'd think one of those should fit.

So... are you measuring the bare frame or are you measuring the headset bearings?

Sounds like it could be either 1.5" or 1.25" for the bottom and 1 1/8" at the top.
